Cristiano Ronaldo is involved for the first time as he bursts into the penalty area.

With the angle tight, he tries to find the far corner but his shot goes wide.

Craig Bellamy is pacing around his technical area. He's barely stayed still since kick-off.

His opposite number Jorge Jesus is the epitome of cool. Hands in pockets in a white shirt and black trousers.

Lewis Koumas hassles Nuno Mendes and gives away free-kick.

That is good work from the Liverpool youngster nevertheless.

It was a great ball into the box after some strong movement on the right-hand side.

Lewis Koumas will be relieved that he was offside but some great movement from him nonetheless.

This stadium is the home of Portuguese heavyweights Sporting but, as Ian says, the playing surface does not look great.

You'd expect better.

The pitch is incredibly bobbly.

Ethan Ampadu played a ball back to Danny Ward early on and it bounced up off the turf a couple of times.

Certainly one to be wary of tonight.

I don't think Wales fans are going to be unrealistic, this is a tough ask.

It's not just the difference in the rankings but the tournament experience they have in general compared to Wales.

Craig Bellamy enjoyed a dream start as Wales boss in the previous Nations League campaign two years ago and he would dearly love a return to that form.

Topping their League B group in 2024 was part of a nine-game unbeaten start in the job, the best of any Wales manager.

Now however, they are without a victory since November, which is their longest winless run since March 2023.

The heat is on in more ways than one with the temperature in the stadium tonight hitting 30°.

Wales threaten for the first time as they work the ball well once more.

Jordan James' whipped cross is turned over by Lewis Koumas, though it does not matter as the offside flag is up anyway.

Wales are brave on the ball at the back, working it well as Ethan Ampadu beats the press and the yellow shirts come forward.

Portugal eventually snuff Wales out but that's encouraging for the visitors.

Josh Sheehan catches Ruben Neves and it's an early free-kick for Portugal.

Wales trying to press high up the pitch early on.

There's a real carnival atmosphere here in Lisbon.

Fans have belted out so many anthems, and the Welsh fans have to work incredibly hard to make themselves heard.

There was a cracking rendition of 'Viva Gareth Bale' shortly before kick-off too.

I have to say, the noise when Cristiano Ronaldo's name was announced was off the charts.

As Craig Bellamy said, the 41-year-old is "beyond a superstar".

Portugal have some early possession - and Nuno Mendes passes the ball straight off the pitch.

More of that please, think the travelling contingent in Lisbon.

We are off and running in Lisbon.

Will this be a famous night for Wales, or will Portugal's superstars make it a long evening?

Anthems done, can Wales put in a performance to please these fans?

Kick-off shortly.

We know these sides in League A have got quality players, right now what I want to see from Wales is can they be competitive?

Put the score line and the results aside, can we cause some upsets?

John Hartson
Former Wales striker on Match of the day Wales

Whatever happened with Bellamy has happened. He is now back managing Wales, which I believe is a great thing.

I'd like to see him now committing for the next two years to try and get us through to the European Championships.

I think Craig Bellamy had his head turned. If he was happy with his national team, why speak to Burnley multiple times?

I think he saw an opportunity with a club he knew well, with owners who were very fond of him, and I believe that if all those boxes were ticked, we would have had a different Wales manager tonight.

Kath Morgan
Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Cymru

The most important thing for us is staying in League A.

It will help our confidence, our technique, our experience. There is a lot more to focus on than the result.
